While the dog days of summer rage on, The Week That Was team is cranking up the AC, enjoying more than our fair share of ice cream and avoiding Penn Station at all costs.
Highlight of the week: our colleague Julian Suchman published a piece in Pharma Exec about some of the ways to leverage digital and social media tools to communicate with patients in the value-based pricing environment.
Other notable news includes President Trump's unique photo op showcasing the strength of injectable drug vials and Sean Spicer saying goodbye to the White House. Read on for The Week That Was.
In news that is making TWTW team chuckle, KFC released a new advertisement in the U.K. this week. The commercial, which was produced by advertising agency Mother, features live chickens moving and grooving to DMX's X Gon' Give It To Ya. Yes, you read that correctly.
The ad has received mixed reactions from industry insiders. While some commend KFC for boldly featuring their main "ingredient," others question the personification of your family's potential dinner. As Mark Ritson at Marketing Week puts it, "There is a world of difference between the long-lived, healthy animals running around atop plush green hills at River Cottage and the unfortunate army of juvenile birds destined for a KFC bucket." Um, pass the salad?
There's no question that this ad is daring. There is something to be said for owning your product unapologetically, especially in an industry historically challenged by concerns with sourcing and processing. But you can't be chicken with this type of strategy; this campaign will generate questions, concerns—and maybe even protests. Our advice? Prepare company spokespeople for controversy. When it comes to anthropomorphic food, what's kitschy and funny to some will be highly offensive to others; remaining unapologetic is easier said than done, especially when the attacks start rolling in. And if you did test the creative campaign with consumers before going to market, now is the time to highlight those results…
There's no question where FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb stands on generic medicines. Since taking the reins at the agency, he has publically committed to addressing drug pricing issues by facilitating access to "lower-cost, generic medicines." The FDA kicked off those efforts this week with a public meeting, including a review of hindrances to the development and approval of generics. To increase visibility in instances where generic manufacturers have trouble accessing branded drugs, the FDA is considering a public shaming strategy of sorts: publishing letters that approve the sale of a branded medicine to a generic drug maker for the purpose of bioequivalence testing.
Accused of "thwarting" generic drug development, brand-name manufacturers have been increasingly targeted this year—through agency action, lawsuits, Congressional testimony, or proposed legislation. With the "brand vs. generics" conversation playing a larger role in the drug pricing debate, we expect patient advocates and media to pay event more attention to patent expiration dates. Communications around product lifecycles will become more important than ever, so companies with older branded medicines need to prepare messaging that shows investment doesn't end at approval. Be able to explain ongoing work to make branded products more effective, easier to use, and more accessible to patients—even after commercial launch.
REPUTATION BLAME GAME: PHARMA OR TRUMP?It's no secret that Americans believe that pharma puts profits over patients—it's a communications challenge we've been addressing in this very digest for the last year. PatientView, a UK-based research, publishing and consultancy group, just released a report indicating that President Trump may be helping to propagate that stigma. The report shows that among U.S. patient groups, the pharma industry's reputation is the lowest it has been since 2013 and according to PatientView founder and CEO Alex Wyke, POTUS "changed the whole dynamics in the way pharma companies are viewed," most notably for their ability to price drugs fairly. Everyone remembers Trump's famous 'getting away with murder,' comment.
The report did find a few positives: patient groups in the U.S. rated pharma companies more positively on innovation, providing high-quality information, and access to clinical trials. And of the six pharmacos that yielded the most positive perception boosts year over year, four have made significant commitments related to pricing. Allergan and Novo Nordisk came out with transparency pledges, while Amgen and Novartis have initiated (and publicized) value-based contracts with payers. Pharmacos should take to heart that patients hold us accountable for what we say; manufacturers should be as transparent as possible and maximize opportunities to educate patients throughout the lifecycle of their medicines. That way, patients can better connect their appreciation of pharma innovation to the development and delivery of the therapies that they use every day.
On a final note, we're having a little state-based déjà vu. This week, we read about the Ohio Drug Price Relief Act, a measure that would grant VA drug pricing to state-administered health programs. You may recall a similar ballot initiative, Prop 61, failed in California last year; like Prop 61, support for the Ohio initiative is led by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, whose president Michael Weinstein was profiled last year in STAT. We're keeping a close eye on this debate.

- Product Description
DetailsChateauneuf du Pape Hommage A Jacques Perrin, 2004, Ch de Beaucastel, Jeroboam
- Tasting Notes
Critics Score: 96
Publication: Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
Drinking Dates: 2007-2047
It is only made in the top vintages, but the very limited cuvee of 500 or so cases of Hommage a Jacques Perrin, which is a wine with 60% Mourvedre and the rest the other permitted varietals, primarily Grenache, Syrah, Counoise, and some Vaccarese, was produced in both 2005 and 2004. The 2004 is potentially one of the legendary Jacques Perrin cuvees since the debut vintage of 1989. The potentially perfect 2004 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin has turned out to be just an amazing wine and one of the profound examples of this cuvee the Perrins have produced. It certainly has all the power, density, and richness of the great years, but there is almost a surreal elegance and lightness for a wine this powerful and dense. Almost difficult to describe, the gorgeous multi-layered texture, and the heavenly perfume of smoked meats, flowers, blueberries, blackberries, creosote, and truffles is a knock-out. In the mouth, it is medium to full-bodied with incredible intensity, purity, and overall symmetry. There's nothing out of place in this remarkable wine, and it seems somewhat approachable already, yet it will no doubt have the uncanny ability to age for 25-40+ years.

DON'T GO!!! come here instead and see amazing shows without having to deal with high ticket-prices, long lines/closed entry, corporate-sponsor schwag-bags, and general douche-baggery!
in all seriousness though, we have a truly phenomenal weekend of shows that stand-up to anything that MFNW has going on. Our weekend features 'actual' bands that are touring and writing records CURRENTLY! whereas MFNW seemingly exists as a "one-trick pony," annually banking on reunited bands (often from the not-distant-enough 90s) to serve as the flag-bearers of their festival. be it SLEEP a couple years back, or this year with the JMascis/Lou Barlow cacophony of bands. it's not that i dislike the output from any of their respective bands (Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoh, JMascis & the Fog, Folk Implosion. etc). on the contrary actually…i quite enjoy the music that they've produced and would go as far as to call it 'quintessential' of the american-indie underground! however, i DO NOT want to endure an entire evening of them switching instruments and subbing musicians in-and-out only to form a "different" bands so that early-thirty-somethings can harken back their 'high school golden-years' and indulge in some kind of nostalgic "trip." fuck that! there's too many fresh-faced, contemporary bands of equivalent skill/songwriting that should generate just as much excitement for show-goers. it's just harder to find out about said bands when Comcast, Nike, BMI and Scion are shoveling their endless supply of blood-money at every media-outlet/business in town, enabling MFNW to push forward a watered-down version of the "musical landscape" in the Pacific Northwest/USA.
we're committed to providing an alternative to the aforementioned MFNW circus and want to use our (albeit limited) resources to highlight some truly deserving indie/punk/DIY musicians who will be in Portland/at The Know this weekend. It all starts TONIGHT (9/7/12).
the Texas toast of Bridgetown. FRIDAY, SEPT 7th – SOMETHING FIERCE and OCCULT DETECTIVE CLUB both hail from Texas (Houston and Denton respectively) yet are honorary members of the PDX punk community courtesy of our own Dirtnap Records, who've issued a fantastic Split 10″ record for the purposes of their current national-tour! as can be expected of any band on the Dirtnap-roster, both bands have an untamable knack for crafting catchy/up-tempo pop punk anthems. piling hook-upon-hook and tour-after-tour, SOMETHING FIERCE has gained a legion of adoring followers nationwide. buttery and sophisticated at times, these youngsters put out what was arguably one of the the best debut full-lengths within the genre last year. don't be worried though…despite their pop-sensibilities/melodic delivery SOMETHING FIERCE have their feet firmly planted in punk and aren't leaving us for MFNW anytime soon. "i don't wanna be here…i hate to dance/i hate the sun/i hate that i hate everyone" croons the band in 'i can't tell,' an infectious song from their full-length. despite that they "hate to dance," i'd speculate these tunes will get attendees to do just that!
oh fuck! i almost forgot to mention that Portland's representing in a BIG way on this bill. beloved local-boys-done-good, DIVERS, will have our audience swooning as they blend the best of The Boss with their enviable punk roots (having spent time in EARLY TIMES, DRUNKEN BOAT and COMPANY).
cast your inhibitions aside and embrace the warmth and fun of righteous pop-punk! or at least embrace the warmth of our venue-area, which will undoubtedly see temperatures soaring and perspiration dropping!
Sweet Machine is the title of Oakland-based SUNFIGHTER's forthcoming album. the title is certainly an adequate descriptor of their sound as well. gorgeously sung vocals and glistening guitar-tone. SUNFIGHTER's performance will mark a decidedly different/prettier 'flavor' than is customary of The Know (given that we're a primary stomping ground for noise-punks/metal heads). we're excited for the change-of-pace and happy to be able to accomodate a wide-spectrum of indie-music!
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8th's bill will conclude with an inevitably rousing performance from history-channelers (get it? it's a pun!) A HAPPY DEATH, who's songs conjure up the likes of The Sonics and The Clean. A HAPPY DEATH retain the rock & roll simplicity of the 1960-70s via a soulful presentation and reconfiguration of the pasts' most tuneful elements! live it again and again…it never grows old!!!
i was reluctant to admit that lightning could strike twice, said a reviewer of 2010's 'Fake meets Failure' LP from RED DONS, who play our stage on SUNDAY, SEPT 9th! this second 'lightning strike' referenced the fact that Doug Burns, the force behind RED DONS, had previously spearheaded Portland's THE OBSERVERS, whose output was lauded and achieved nearly legendary status within the punk underground. RED DONS are on a similar trajectory and despite being scattered across the globe (with members residing in Chicago, London, Washington and Portland) continue to produce some of the most powerful and moving music in DIY/punk! 'hugely anticipated' would be a vast understatement in relation to this show and line-up. given how infrequently RED DONS are able to assemble their members to perform live, we expect nothing less than a smash-packed room of fans and friends. this show will serve as a sort of dual "home coming" for the Dons, whose appearance also coincides with the conclusion of their summer-tour. This will be one for The Know's 'history books', and stacked-cast of local-support bands are representative of that fact. the intensity and quality from start-to-finish of this show is unreal/not to be missed!!!
read the WWeek's preview of the show here.
save your "hard-earned" this weekend and come to these shows. they're undoubtedly more bang-for-the-buck (and your money actually goes to the bands) than anything MFNW has on offer and lends to the future versus dredging up the tired-past! THE KIDS WILL HAVE THEIR SAY!
as always, thanx for reading.

Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati Novena, Day One
Jesus says: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Pier Giorgio responds: "The faith given to me in Baptism surely suggests to me that of yourself you will do nothing; but if you have God as the center of all your actions, then you will reach the goal."
We pray: Blessed Pier Giorgio, teach me true poverty of spirit. Help me understand that God cares for me; and that He asks me, in return, to care for others, especially those in need. Guide me to make choices in my life which will show a preference for service of God and neighbor, rather than accumulating financial wealth and social advantage for myself. Give me a special love for the poor and the sick.
Blessed Pier Giorgio, I ask for your intercession in obtaining from God, Who is the Lover of the poor, all the graces necessary for my spiritual and temporal welfare. I confidently turn to you for help in my present need: (mention your request.)

R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray: Father, You gave to the young Pier Giorgio Frassati the joy of meeting Christ and of living his faith in service of the poor and the sick. Through his intercession, may we, too, walk the path of the Beatitudes and follow the example of his generosity, spreading the spirit of the Gospel in
society. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Facts
In the 1960's Presidential Elections, the democratic John F. Kennedy had won by a scarce margin and against all presage to the republican Richard M. Nixon.
In the Summer of 1963, the Kennedy administration cabinet began to plan the strategy for the future elections of 1964, in which Kennedy would be presented for reelection. The polls in the southern states where not favorable, specially in the state of Texas (where in 1960 Kennedy won the election by a tiny margin) they were loosing positions. So at the end of that 63 Summer Kennedy decided to take a trip to Texas with the intention of collect votes and increase his popularity.
As vice-president Lyndon B. Johnson was a Texan and he enjoyed a lot of prestige among their compatriots of the southern state, Kennedy thought that it would be a good strategy that the Texan town saw them together and in person in the streets of its cities.
Also, and for this occasion, Kennedy requested his wife Jacqueline to accompanied him in his trip, not a very frequent thing.
The tour for Texas was planned for the autumn, more concretely it would began November 21 visiting the cities of Houston and San Antonio. The 22nd of November they would move to the south where at first hour they would visit Fort Worth, moving later to Texas where they would have a lunch with some Dallas bussinessmen at around 13:00 in the Dallas Trade Mart.

Well today was a lot of fun actually. I woke up later than what I wanted but I still made it to lunch on time....good thing for that, we can't possibly miss lunch around this place! just kidding.....But today we had an oppertunity to go to an art class, and I wasn't sure that I actually wanted to go but Tiara forced me too. I am glad I went though because we each got to paint a puzzle piece and after it was done it all fit together to make a picture of the bridge right outside our window. It was actually a lot of fun, and my two pieces didn't turn out that bad. Then we moved Katie into our room because she has been having problems with her room mate Carly (the sex addict).
Since we're on the topic of her tonight it hit an all time low. She ended up sneeking out and meeting up with a guy that she met off craigslist. So we had to deal with all of that. Before she left though she blew up at all of us and made hurtful comments about each and everyone one of us using something personal we've disclosed in group. So of course this made everyone highly upset and everyone started yelling. After she returned back tonight God really kept telling me to go talk to her. "Why does it have to be me" I keep asking him. His answer was because I was the closest person who could understand what she was going through with having an addiction. So finally I went in and talked to her for an hour and a half. I don't know if she even heard anything I was saying but God used me to at least plant the seed....we'll see if it grows.
Then once I came back to my room I realized that I had forgotten my night snack today. The old Kendra would have been happy because that meant I didn't have to eat it but instead I went to one of the girls in my suite and asked for something to supplement in for it. So I didn't miss any calories today. I have had no symptoms for a week now!!!! There are definetly still urges but we have been locking our bathroom all day until 8pm so that we won't be tempted to purge. It's been really hard to keep everything down but the girls are really supporitive and I keep taking it one day at a time. Tomorrow should be a fun day....OHHHH I forgot to tell you I GOT OFF MEDICAL RESTRICTION TODAY!!!!!! So today I got to drive down the street with Tiara and her friends that came to visit today and I know that it doesn't sound like much, but you sure do take for granted the simple things in life. Tomorrow Tiara's family is coming and they invited me to hang out with them, so I am really looking forward to that. Well I need to get to sleep. Nighty night!

Otherwise known as Mother's Day.
Yes, that's right, the Duck will be spreading all her rightful sovereignty over the blogosphere tomorrow – see she had wanted to be fancy with that word, but she probably didn't even use that right. But what the hell, this day is for the mama's, so I can afford to be an idiot for today. Just today. Like I've never done so before.
So remember how the Duck waddled around about how she never got to finishing up that CD she was going to belt out her beloved cackles last Christmas?
I did it.
But now it won't play on a CD player because apparently all the softwares, virus, internet, computer junk simply did not cover the portion of codecs. I hadn't even known what they were until 20 minutes ago. And I had almost downloaded a false file 15 minutes ago. The Duck was not meant for the 21st century.
It's the thought that counts right? Yeah.
This year, I didn't even bother writing an English translation on the other side of the card anymore. My mother'll never get around to reading it. She took 10 minutes trying to decipher through the Chinese. Let's not get too optimistic. It cramps my style. But if I may say so myself, for someone who's never written a word of Chinese since last Christmas, the Duck's penmanship is surprisingly remarkable. No bragging of course. Just remarking. The phenomena that never happened last Christmas when I was using that black pen..
Regardless, I am proud to not conform. While my sister praised my mother to be the best, as I believe you fellow quails would. Ha! – and I had actually eaten you all for dinner. Wrapped in bacon. – I wrote to my mom , you like to party and you suck with sentimental issues. Sometimes I feel like you're a child.
The rest of the 3 paragraphs be darned.
She did get me back though. On the other side of the card I put a baby picture of me, where even the mini me knew to flap her wings and pose before she attempts to fly off the side of the balcony in an airport. Instead of
commenting remarking on how friggin unbelievably adorable baby Duckling was, she dared to ask me – next year, can you put a picture of Milo (my cat)?
I'm bruised. My ego has been crippled. It's like shaving away from my bountiful plumage.
I swear next year I'll put a picture of my baby cat alright. Have him soaking wet so that he'll look like a rat. His fur will stick down, allowing us the sight to marvel at his, ahem, bountiness. Then he'll be like a fat rat. And of course I knew all of this not from experience. Just pure imagination of the wild mind.
Now the Duck must retreat back to her duck pen to strangle the CD she created. Or she just has nothing to say for this because she's way too excited to, ahem, remark about her birthday tomorrow. For now, she can afford to celebrate for being young. Ha, how devious was that?
You see that big ball of meat? You guys do taste good with bacon. So does salad.

"I have never owned an I/O, but have an opportunity to buy a 185. Not sure if this is a complete description. I has a V8. From the pictures it looks like new..pretty light blue block and no oil stains. the out drive looks like factory fresh as does the inside and outside of the boat.
Would you give me some advise as to what to look for and what questions to ask?

Choosing Between Video or Photography
aside from wedding venues, yo also need to focus on photographers. Examining video vs photography for wedding Boston, MA could be a grueling experience if you do not know how to start. For sure you are as excited as other brides out there because it will be your special day. But don't you know that one major fail in deciding who will be your videographer or photographer on your special day could lead to a very disastrous wedding coverage.
1. Looking at the portfolio.
Do not miss this part. If you visit your nearest photographer or videographer, make sure that you ask them compilation of their previous work. Most photographers and videographers may have websites nowadays so you can simply check. Study the aesthetic value and artistry of their work. Visit this site to appreciate the stuffs about video and photographs.
2. Go down to the details
Assuming that you already know the basic service price, all you need to do is review the details. These two types of art are using camera so you can ask them how many cameras will be used to cover your event. Ask if they will also have an aerial wedding photography and videography during your event. If they have, that will be awesome. If there's none, you can ask how much you are going to add if you wanted that kind of service.
3. Get the contract
Yes, talking in the table is good but what's the best for you is to have a contract—a written agreement of all the details discussed. This will be your protection just in case they will not fulfill all the details you have talked about. Your money is very important so make sure you are protected.
Getting video vs photography for wedding Boston, MA is like shopping for your own wedding cake. You always go for the one which is yummier and presentable over the other. And how could you do that? Follow the three points provided above and you will never go wrong.

text: The Jurassic Park trilogy is set to hit Blu-ray for the first time on Oct. 25, with more than two hours of all-new bonus features. Watch the trailer below. To the casual fan, it appears Jurassic Park III got the shaft, since William H. Macy and Téa Leoni don't make the cut. EW's Jurassic Park historian Darren Franich, however, assures me that there are exactly three shots each from The Lost Word: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III. ("By the way," he adds, "Jurassic Park 3 is way better than Jurassic Park 2, but only in the same sense that being punched in the arm hurts less than being punched in the face.")

A proposed change of name for Whitemoor Park in Belper, is being considered by Amber Valley Borough Council to recognise the 100th anniversary of a local war hero being awarded the Victoria Cross.
Charles Edwin Stone was honoured for bravery in battle during the First World War, in 1918.
The Park would be renamed 'The Charles Stone VC Memorial Park', as a fitting and long-term memorial to the bravery and dedication of the local hero. The Council would therefore like to hear the views of local residents and organisations about the proposal, by 28 April 2017, via the email address: email@example.com, or via The Town Hall, Ripley, Derbyshire, DE5 3BT.
Commenting on the proposals, Councillor Chris Short, Cabinet Member for Environment stated: "I personally feel that re-naming the park on Whitemoor Lane in Belper, would be a fitting tribute to one of Amber Valley's great military heroes, and in time of the centenary of Charles Stone's Victoria Cross honour. However, we would like to hear the views of local people about this proposal before a decision is made."

Sermon Title: Invincible, Part 1: Poor
Main Texts: Matthew 5:2-12, Proverbs 1:7, Isaiah 6:4, Revelation 1:17
REMINDER: The following Topics are for your preparation purposes only and should not be shared with the group as a refresher.
The word beatitudes means "blessed sayings."
We use the word "blessed" to mean like "fortunate" or "lucky." But this word means something deeper. At its core it means "happy." But not in like a shallow emotional way. It means more like "bliss." The beatitude formula would refer to ideals. Jesus is essentially saying these truths are foundational truths that if we follow them we will thrive the way God intended.
But when we look at what Jesus said is ideal for humanity it is utterly foreign to anything we could find in humanity.
The first beatitude says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit for there's is the kingdom of heaven."
Nowhere in the world is someone who is poor in any capacity held up as the ideal for humanity. This is alien.
This word for poor is talking about utter helplessness. The type of total poverty that one might find in a third world country. They are beggars. It is not a matter of getting a job, there are no jobs to be gotten. There are not government programs or relief agencies. They are totally helpless and in need.
Jesus is saying blessed are those who realize that they are impoverished spiritually. Those who get it, those who are thriving, are those who understand that they stand before God in utter need.
In other words it doesn't matter - how much we read the Bible, how much we pray, how often we go to church, how much we give, how much we serve - before God we have nothing to offer.
Jesus says those people who understand their spiritual poverty will get into the kingdom of heaven. He says the way to get to heaven is for starters to recognize that we stand before God totally impoverished spiritually. We are beggars before God.
This is how Jesus starts His sermon, and this is how Proverbs starts out. It says, "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." (1:7) If we want to know anything, if we want to know how to operate in this world we should start by understanding who God is and where we stand in relationship to Him.
Every morning we walk out the door and are utterly dependant on Him. He holds our molecules together. He holds our universe in His hand. Do we forget who He is?
How does this intersect with our lives? Do we have a fear of God? Do we understand where we stand before Him?
If things don't like how something in our lives has gone, do we feel like we've been gypped?
When we pray is it like we hand over to God a To Do List that we expect Him to get done and in a timely manner? Or do we come before Him humbly realizing who He is?
Are there areas in our lives that we are disobeying lives and don't really care? Or do we humbly obey Him?
Do we go through life thinking we are self-sufficient? Do we go days, weeks, months, without acknowledging God? Or do we start every day thinking reminding ourselves that we are completely desperate for God?
When we make decisions are we reliant on ourselves - our wealth in resources, connections, experience, education? Or do we rely on God?
- Ultimately even though we are beggars before God, Jesus was the act of mercy for us. He died to pay our debt and save us.
Key Questions:
- What was the high of your week? What was the low of your week?
- What stuck out to you on Sunday? / What is still lingering in your head from Sunday?
- If you could have the superpowers of one superhero who would you pick?
- Read Matthew 5:2-12.
- If we say someone is "blessed" what are we usually meaning?
- How is Jesus using the term "blessed"?
- [to thrive, the ideal of humanity, how God intended for us to operate]
- Read Matthew 5:3.
- What does it mean to be poor in spirit?
- [spiritually impoverished, we don't have anything to offer God]
- In our world what kinds of wealth is thought to make someone thrive?
- How is Jesus' statement alien to what we hear on our planet?
- Read Proverbs 1:7, Isaiah 6:4-5, Revelation 1:17
- Why are these descriptions important for us to understand?
- How will this truth affect how we interact with God? (things like prayer, obedience, decision making, etc.)
- How is this truth the first step for hearing the message of Jesus?
Don't forget to post your attendance after group.

What You'll Get
Like an old love letter, neglected teeth eventually fade to yellow, only to surface once a year during spring cleaning. Prevent your teeth from a similar fate with today's Groupon: you get your choice of a take-home custom whitening kit and a brief oral exam (a $378 value); an oral exam, full mouth x-rays, and a cleaning (up to a $351 value), plus $200 toward any future dental treatment; or an Invisalign exam, orthodontic models, and panoramic x-ray (a $628 value), plus $1,000 toward Invisalign treatment and a free whitening kit at Poldek Family Dental, located in Streamwood.
Always up-to-date on the latest in dental technology, Dr. Kirk Poldek helps patients emerge from the dentist chair with cleaner, healthier, and brighter smiles. With the first option, Dr. Poldek administers a brief oral exam to assess the health of teeth and gums to minimize discomfort caused by possible cavities. Next, a customized whitening kit is created by taking an impression of a patient's cuspid rows and constructing a mold for at-home use. The teeth owner then fills the customized mouth guard with a powerful bleaching agent and wears the trays one hour a day for up to two weeks. After a fortnight, significant whitening can occur, as coffee stains and merlot murals are whitewashed from enamel walls. With the second option, Dr. Poldek cleans teeth with a complete oral exam (a $97 value), including a full set of x-rays (a $150 value), as he scrapes, scrubs, and examines the tongue with a regular cleaning, exorcising lingering sucrose ghosts and helping to prevent gum disease (a $104 value). All patients who choose this option also receive an additional $200 toward any future dental service with Poldek Family Dental.
The third option gets patients an Invisalign consultation, in which the dentist outfits crooked pearly whites with orthodontic models to demonstrate how Invisalign will reshape an individual's smile. If patients follow through with the treatment, they'll get $1,000 toward the full Invisalign treatment, which uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten teeth and moral compasses, typically over the course of about a year ($5,250/full case). Invisalign patients also get a free customized whitening kit as an added bonus.
Fill out patient registration forms before calling to schedule an appointment.

Andy Pettitte has returned to the Yankees and I can honestly say, I always thought he would.
So where does that leave the Santana Sweepstakes? On one hand there is less pressure to acquire a veteran arm with Pettitte around. On the other hand, having a 1-2-3 of Santana, Wang, and Pettitte would be nasty (not to mention following with Joba, Moose, and Kennedy).
The Yankees have made their final offer: Phil Hughes, Melky Cabrera, and a mid-level prospect (essentially not Austin Jackson, Ian Kennedy, Dellin Betances, Jose Tabata, or Alan Horne). This is at least comparable to the Red Sox package of Lester, Lowrie, Crisp, and Masterson and probably better simply because Crisp makes too much money for what he produces. The Red Sox have since put the Ellsbury into the deal instead of Lester and Crisp (while presumably adding another mid-level prospect as well). From a talent standpoint this is actually a worse package, as Ellsbury isn't as good as Lester. But according to Jack Curry of the NYTimes, the Twins might not agree. In fact, they rate Ellsbury higher than Hughes.
If this is true, it might not be worth it for the Yankees to even be at the negotiating table. If there is that big of a disparity in how the Twins and Yankees rate the Yankees' prospects, its hard to find an equitable deal.
Either way, it's good to have Andy back.

Toobin Caves In: Special Gloating Edition
"I wrote a 400-page book and I made one mistake."
That was Jeffrey Toobin's spin to Brill's Content when he agreed to delete from his book, A Vast Conspiracy, the charge that Newsweek reporter Michael Isikoff was "protecting the independent counsel's investigation" in January 1998. (In fact, Isikoff's reporting disrupted the investigation.) "It's one sentence," Toobin told the Washington Post's Lloyd Grove.
Make that two sentences. Or three. Or six. As reported by both Grove and Inside.com's David Carr, Toobin's publisher--after initially saying it "stands firmly behind Jeffrey Toobin"--has now caved and will revise Toobin's book, in its paperback and any future hardcover printings. Toobin will no longer say that Isikoff and Wall Street Journal reporter Glenn Simpson had been planning a book that was titled All the President's Women. And there will be at least five other changes, according to Carr, who says "the number and tenor of revisions are a significant embarrassment for Toobin and his publisher."
Why does it matter that Toobin got the title of Isikoff and Simpson's book project wrong? Because it is the fragile factual linchpin of Toobin's argument that in reporting on Flytrap, Isikoff was motivated by "greed" in the form of a "desire to write books about the president's sex life." Isikoff says he was just doing his job, reporting for Newsweek--that he had in fact been thinking of writing a book with Simpson, called Secrets and Lies, but had firmly dropped the idea a month earlier when Matt Drudge accused him of holding back material from the magazine. (Simpson confirms this.)
So what is Toobin's evidence that Isikoff was still working on the book when he talked to Tripp? Why, the title. Tripp knew the title. Toobin recounts a conversation Tripp had with Lucianne Goldberg about Isikoff:
"Oh, no," Tripp replied. "He's working on a book deal. He's doing an all-the-president's-women kind of deal."
On this evidence, Toobin immediately asserts that Isikoff was still working on the book he'd discussed with Simpson:
Isikoff was using Tripp as a source for the project he had started with Glenn Simpson of the Wall Street Journal, who had by this point dropped out of the project. Isikoff had apparently even shared the working title of his volume with Tripp, as he had with others.
A few paragraphs later (in an exceptionally sleazy passage preceded by the qualifier "If events unfolded as Tripp said they did ...") Toobin writes that "if" Isikoff was indeed "stoking the story" so he could "profit from it in the form of [a] book [deal]," he was wrong in "not disclosing that fact to Isikoff's readers." Toobin does note that Isikoff disputes this--that Isikoff says Tripp gave an erroneous account of their conversation. Then, the clincher:
If she did, it is curious that Tripp knew the precise title of Isikoff's planned book; ...
What Toobin is admitting this week is that Tripp didn't know the precise title of Isikoff's once-planned book, because the precise title wasn't anything like what Toobin reported it was (All the President's Women). It's as if, in the O.J. Simpson murder case, the prosecution suddenly conceded that Simpson never wore brown gloves, only green ones.
Given the centrality of Toobin's latest admissions, Carr notes, "It will be interesting to see how the changes will look in print."

Boycott Anti-American Women Comment
I normally would have caught his comment yesterday evening but we had a mini-crisis to take care of. My husband went into the garage around 5:30 and noticed the water heater was leaking. One of the hoses needed to be replaced. He headed off to Ace Hardware for the part. I decided to caramelize onions for the roast beef sandwiches we were having for dinner knowing I could zap them in the microwave later, if necessary. Husband called saying Ace didn't have the hose so he was heading for Home Depot. I sliced the Kaiser rolls for the sandwiches and stuck them back in the bakery bag.
Husband arrives home with a hose. Home Depot didn't have the exact same hose so he had to buy a different length. Long story short, he had to remove a brass fitting and soldier in additional copper pipe to make this new hose fit. The old brass fitting did not want to come loose even using a torch. Once the new hose was affixed there were new leaks to deal with. We ended up being in the garage until after 10:00 p.m.
Note to new brides - Most men love for you to "help" when they're involved in a major project. I didn't contribute much to this whole endeavor other than mopping water off the floor and handing him a tool now and then. The fact that I was "suffering" along with him and not sitting in comfort in the house while he was working was very much appreciated. This isn't just my observation but something I've read in books. Maybe it's because misery loves company? Personally, I prefer to work alone so it may be one of those Mars/Venus things.
So, we didn't eat dinner until about 10:30. I can't eat late at night without getting acid reflux which showed up around 2:00 a.m. Oh joy.
NuzMuz, yes I having been getting my nails done for over twenty years. I first considered giving it up when I retired because it is a luxury but kept doing it since I was able to afford it. Then I seriously considered quitting when I added the expense of riding lessons. But my real nails are so ugly that I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Actually I've become kind of high maintenance since I was diagnosed with cancer. I never colored my hair before but when I lost it all, I kind of went crazy when the new growth started coming in. I am trying not to fritter away money on other stuff and so far this year have done pretty well.
5 comments:
My comment was really meant to be humorous, because most of us who ride horses break our nails so often that we have nothing left to manicure or paint. I remember being in a mall and having someone jump out at me with some nail care product, wanting to do a demonstration. I said, "Are you kidding? I work with horses. I don't have any nails."ReplyDelete
With this post you did a good job showing Mr. Anti American Women that some American wives do work their butts off.
Wow, sounds familiar. We've had more water in our basement this winter than I think I've had in all my previous winters put together. Glad your hubs was able to fix it.ReplyDelete
Spam commnetors are why I have comments set up for approval. That way I can just send them to spamville and they never get noticed.ReplyDelete
Sounds like a good plan hanging out and offering moral support. Something I have not done but proably should.
I believe this guy sent his comment to me too and I just deleted him. I also delete anyone who tries to get free advertising on my blog.ReplyDelete
The garage job sounds annoying. A few weeks ago we had our water heater in the basement flood everything when a hose and handle thing broke off. There were no towels left in the house by the time I was done. My husband went out to the plumber supply place but they were closed at 1 in the afternoon. Nice. We finally got the guy who installed it to come over he had the part on the truck. Lucky for us.
I occasionally get a spam comment and I delete it immediately. They are a pain in the behiney. I'm always afraid of getting some inappropriate stuff.ReplyDelete
My poor hubby just isn't handy with repairs. Now my Dad can fix anything so when he is here in the summer he does it all and I hold the tools for him or run to the garage for him. Otherwise I have to call the plumber which is VERY expensive!!! :o(
Visited my 'boys' yesterday and they are still all fuzzy in their winter coats. I always dread shedding season, I really would like to blanket all of my boys but they do fine without them except Nick. He just doesn't get enough of a coat for this climate. I call him city boy!
I love getting my nails done but I don't have the acrylics any more, it just got soooooo expensive but I do pretty well having my own done. Better in the winter when I am not in the barn as much, in the summer, forget it! ha!

Senate to vote on Sebelius for HHS secretary later this month
The Senate Finance Committee confirmed Sebelius late last week. In response to healthcare and healthcare reform-related questions from the committee, Sebelius said she believe all U.S. residents should be insured. She also said she supports a sound public insurance option. The Department of Health and Human Services oversees the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which plays a major role in the regulation of long-term care facilities.
Sebelius said she is open to the possibility of a budget reconciliation process as a way to pass healthcare overhaul legislation. Such a process would require 51 votes to avoid filibuster as opposed to the usual 60. Republicans oppose such an approach. As secretary, she would emphasize preventative medicine, she said. Committee members did not ask her about her repayment of about $7,000 in back taxes resulting from accounting errors.

The Department of Health and Human Services has awarded grants totaling $229 million to 10 states to establish health insurance exchanges, authorized under the Affordable Care Act.
States awarded the funds include Arkansas, Colorado, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
The insurance exchanges are designed to provide consumers and small businesses with one-stop shopping for coverage, increase competition in the marketplace and give small businesses higher purchasing clout.
HHS previously awarded $1 million planning grants to states, the District of Columbia and four territories. Six states and a multi-state consortium received $241 million in "early innovator" grants to develop model exchanges for other states to consider. With the new grant awards, 33 states and the District of Columbia have made significant progress toward establishing an exchange, according to the department.
The federal government will establish an exchange in states that decline to do so. So far, at least two states, Kansas and Oklahoma, have declined. More information is available here.
HHS also has published a final rule giving states more flexibility to pursue alternative strategies to ensure residents' access to insurance. More information on the State Innovation Waivers program is available here.

Social media revolution – Right here! Right now!
Caution: Addictive
Social media is more popular than porn. Is social media a revolution? An evolution? Here to stay? Let me know what you think.
A friend of mine sent me this video on YouTube and I can't get the song out of my head. If you need to see a summary of statistics as to why social media is so powerful in combination with a really cool song, go ahead. I promise you will get it in 4:22 min. Just one caution. It's addictive. You've been warned.

Examiner (Stuart Williams/Sean Levey) will have to overcome the widest draw in the £25,000 Betway Handicap (7.15pm, 13 runners) over an extended nine furlongs on Tapeta at Wolverhampton on Saturday, December 10.
The five-year-old is having his first start on the All-Weather since the 2013/14 winter season when he won three of his six starts on Polytrack at Kempton Park and Lingfield Park for William Haggas.
He joined Stuart Williams ahead of the 2015 Flat season and has progressed into a decent performer, with his biggest victory coming in the Investec Mile at Epsom Downs in June.
His two subsequent have seen him finish well down the field in both the Cambridgeshire, in which he was third in 2015, and a 10-furlong handicap at Newbury on October 22.
Williams said today: "Examiner is very well in himself.
"He won nicely at Epsom earlier in the year and I think he has had excuses since then. The ground was too firm for him at Newmarket and then probably too slow at Newbury.
"He has done most of his winning on the All-Weather and I think Saturday's race will suit him. It is just a shame about the draw [13] as that makes it difficult but we will go there and do our best."
Examiner's 12 rivals include old rival Third Time Lucky (Richard Fahey/David Nolan), who was victorious in the 2015 Cambridgeshire.
Nonios (David Simcock/David Probert) got off the mark easily over the course and distance last time out, while Mythical Madness (David O'Meara/Daniel Tudhope) was just touched off by a Keystroke in a class three handicap on November 26.
Sennockian Star (Mark Johnston/John Egan), Georgian Bay (Karl Burke/Jordan Vaughan) and four-time course scorer Solar Deity (Jane Chapple-Hyam/Adam Kirby) also run.
Wolverhampton's eight-race card starts at 5.15pm and ends at 8.45pm.
The next Fast-Track Qualifier is at Newcastle on Wednesday, December 21, with a guaranteed place in the £150,000 Betway Marathon Championships up for grabs.
Every All-Weather race run in Britain between October 27, 2016, and Good Friday, April 14, 2017, is part of the All-Weather Championships.

Great Taste Awards 2015:
- Honeycomb Crunch
- Butterscotch

Ice Cream Stockists
Great Taste
Great Taste Awards 2015
Great Taste "is the acknowledged benchmark for fine food and drink. It has been described as the 'Oscars' of the food world and the 'epicurean equivalent of the Booker prize'. Quite simply the Great Taste logo is the sign you can trust when buying food and drink in your local, quality retailer."
- Guild of Fine Foods
Having entered the Great Taste Awards for the first time in 2015, Needwood Ice Cream scooped up a star for both Honeycomb Crunch & Butterscotch. We choose Great Taste as it is the world's largest and most trusted food and drink benchmark and with 10,000 entries this year, just 31% were accredited this year - we feel it's a real accolade.
Here are some of the judges' comments:
"Lovely creamy consistency and crunchy bits of toffee. The bitter notes of the toffee work well in offsetting the sweetness of the ice cream"
Honeycomb Crunch
"Well there is plenty of honeycomb and it has, cleverly, retained good crunch." The judges said that they like it because there is "big enough pieces to enhance it but not too much to overpower and make the whole thing too sweet"
Butterscotch and Honeycomb Crunch are both made all year round and are just as delicious in a cornet on a hot summer's day or as a delicious accompaniment to desert. Butterscotch is available in 120ml, 500ml, 1 litre and wholesale scooping tubs. Honeycomb Crunch is made in 1 litre, and wholesale scooping tubs, so anyone can enjoy them.
Please do not hesitate to

if you would like any information on where you can purchase our ice creams.

More than 100 years ago, two groups of sisters came to Northeast Wisconsin and built St. Elizabeth Hospital and Mercy Medical Center. Though from different religious organizations, the sisters had the same mission: to live out the healing ministry of Christ by providing services that promote the health and well-being of the communities we serve, especially the poor.
The sisters' mission was the start of Affinity Health System's green movement. The sisters relied on the responsible use of local resources to sustain the hospitals. From gathering fruits and vegetables in the hospital gardens to conserving kerosene for surgeries and procedures, our green movement is rooted in our religious heritage.
As we remember our heritage, the love of the earth, the value of it as a living gift of God in creation, we celebrate our part in our connection to the rootedness.
Let Us Pray
May you know the embrace of Earth.
May she teach you the wisdom of time:
the unfolding of Spring
the ripening of Summer
the turning of Autumn
the shedding of Winter.
May she teach you the wisdom of intimacy:
seed embraced by warm, dark soil
crevice traced by insistent stream
raindrop clinging to new, soft leaf
precious stones in hidden places.
May she teach you the wisdom of grace:
flowers entwining fallen oak
healing gifts of common "weeds"
grain for bread, fruit for wine
dancing stars through barren branches.
May you be known in Earth's embrace.
Blessing © Jan L. Richardson from Sacred Journeys janrichardson.com
St. Francis of Assisi founded the Franciscan Order in the early 1200s. His attitude towards creation was simple and direct. He saw God in everything and loved and praised him in all creation. The realization that everything comes from the same source made him call all created things—no matter how insignificant—his brothers and sisters because they had the same origins as he.
For Francis the care of the environment was integrity of faith. To preach and proclaim God's love meant that we needed to practice this in all ways. Francis believed that the way in which we interact with nature and creation is the way we interact with God. This understanding of finding God in all things—the birds, creatures and the Earth—encourages us to be aware of treating creation as a relationship of nurturing versus a relationship in which the creation was something to be taken from without regard or responsibility.
At Affinity we look to St. Francis and draw strength from his devotion to the Earth and its resources. We look to him for spiritual guidance in improving the care to our patients and to our environment.

Sorry to hear no Zachs in your line...thought I might be

Hadn't heard about all those Boremans running around in
Ohio.I can only speak for Cleveland area, and they were
all mine, while they were living here, but have since moved elsewhere or passed away.I think only one Boreman remains in the local phone book and she belongs to some other family line.Oh well.
You learn something every day. And today, it came from you.
I didn't know Linda was actually a Boreman!
Nothing like a little infamy in a family line...
might take the heat off me for awhile.
Thanks again for your notes.

The final bottleneck in our program is the lazy list itself. While
we can avoid allocating it all at once, there is still memory traffic
each time around the loop, as we demand the next cons cell in the list,
allocate it to the heap, operate on it, and continue. The list type is
also polymorphic, so the elements of the list will be represented as
Double values.
What we'd like to do is eliminate the list entirely, keeping just the next element we need in a register. Perhaps surprisingly, GHC is able to transform the list program into a listless version, using an optimization known as deforestation, which refers to a general class of optimizations that involve eliminating intermediate data structures. Due to the absence of side effects, a Haskell compiler can be extremely aggressive when rearranging code, reordering and transforming wholesale at times. The specific deforestation optimization we will use here is stream fusion.
This optimization transforms recursive
list generation and transformation functions into nonrecursive
unfolds. When an
unfold appears next to a
fold, the structure between them is then eliminated entirely,
yielding a single, tight loop with no heap allocation. The optimization
isn't enabled by default, and it can radically change the complexity of
a piece of code, but it is enabled by a number of data structure
libraries, which provide rewrite rules, custom optimizations, that the compiler applies to functions that the ...
